Beads on a String-America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical History is a recording of America’s glorious multi-racial history, celebrated within one cover.
Beads on a String-America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical History
lauds loudly the accomplishments of all races that helped make America
the great country it has become.
It celebrates such people as Hiawatha,
who fought for freedom of his people. It applauds Lonnie Johnson who
invented the ‘Super Soaker’, Dalip Singh Saund a member of the United
States House of Representatives and Rev. Rick Warren who blessed the
2008 Presidential Inauguration. Beads on a String continue with the
recognition of others such as, Arpad G.C. Gerster who was one of the
first surgeons in America, and Yamato Ichihashi, one of the first
academics of Asian ancestry in the United States. Antonio Meucci
invented the telephone, Michael Jackson entertained; Minoru Yamasaki
second-generation Japanese-American architect designed the World Trade
Center, and Amadeo Peter Giannini who founded the of Bank of Italy,
which later became Bank of America.
Beads on a String-America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical History
never stops celebrating our heritages from the naming of the country by
Martin Waldseemuller to the elimination of overt racial
discrimination, through education, entertainment and to the glorious
day of racial, political and social unification with Barack Obama’s
Presidential election.
Beads on a String-America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical History
will be a great asset to the educational system as well as in the lives
of people all over the world. With the election of Barack Obama as
President, it is clear; America is ready for a change. That change
should take effect within the history books.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure….”
